Nawazuddin Siddiqui.
Often beautiful stories come out from the past filled with struggles. These stories are prepared by threading. Today we will talk about a Bollywood star who once used to work as a watchman and chemist, but now he rules millions of hearts on the basis of his acting. If you are thinking that even in the life of this actor, poverty and gurbat must have been since childhood, then it is not so. This actor was born into a landlord family, but he himself chose to wander from rate to rate to appear in films. This actor decided not to take money from the family and thought of becoming something on his own. They say that gold comes out of penance and this Sana also reached his dreams by climbing the stairs of struggles.
Wanted to become an actor in this way
This actor is none other than Nawazuddin Siddiqui, who has won the hearts of many people with his strong acting in films. Nawazuddin Siddiqui once spoke openly about his acting journey with Humans of Bombay. He remembered that the idea of becoming an actor came to his mind for the first time after watching a drama in Vadodara, where he worked as a chemist after finishing college. He said, ‘Our family used to watch Ramlila drama together. I faced my first face here. A friend of mine played the role of Ram and I was very impressed to see him on stage. I used to imagine playing the role of Ram myself. After college, I worked as a chemist in Vadodara. There, I saw a drama for the first time. The idea of becoming an actor became a dream that night.
These ideas were about Bombay
Nawazuddin said that after enrolling the National School of Drama, he moved to Mumbai, but it took him about a month to get into the dream city. He told, ‘So I studied at the National School of Drama and then went where everyone who dreams of acting goes – Bombay … My first belief about Bombay was how fast everything is here. It took me a month to walk with this fast pace life, I felt that I would never be able to match its speed. ‘
Used to live like this
Nawazuddin comes from a farmer family and was a guide to his eight siblings. He said that he often had to borrow money from friends to stay in Mumbai. He said, ‘My family was not poor, but financially I was not strong and I could not ask for money from home. I used to borrow money from my friends, saying that I would return them in 2 days. Two days later I would borrow money from someone else and return the money to the first one. I lived in a flat with four other people. All this was to live life. He further said, ‘I did strange things – sometimes as a watchman, sometimes to sell coriander. I also organized acting seminars. I went for about 100 auditions and accepted every role in me, no matter how small it is. It took me 12 years to get ‘success’. It was not easy – the struggle was not beautiful, it was just that; a struggle.’
No longer identity
Let me tell you, Nawazuddin Siddiqui traveled from playing a small role in ‘Munnabhai MBBS’ to winning the Filmfare Award for ‘Lunchbox’. Nobody notices him in ‘Sarfarosh’, but later his character of Ganesh Gaitonde was in discussion in the social media world. His thief character in ‘Talaash’ cannot be forgotten. Today, Nawazuddin is called the most magnificent actor on the strength of his filmography. They are counted among the most magnificent actors in the country.
